The Book Club Play January 27 - February 14, 2027 at Syracuse Stage

January 27 - February 14, 2027 By Karen Zacarías Directed by Rebecca Martínez A comedy about books and the people who love them. For Ana Smith, Book Club is the one place she can truly be herself: Confident, organized, intellectual, and most importantly, in charge. She especially loves leading the stimulating conversations with her husband Rob, their best friends Will and Jen, and her protégé Lily, as they devour classics like The Age of Innocence and Moby Dick. But when Ana agrees to allow a famous director to record their meetings for a documentary film, the safe space of Book Club is shattered, while an opinionated newcomer threatens to alter the group dynamic for good. Karen Zacarías’ delightful comedy celebrates the simple joy of reading—from Wuthering Heights to Twilight, and everything in between. “Authentically amusing… a comedy of modern literary manners.” – The Washington Post
